An object of the invention is to provide fan-im.-; proved sand-blast nozzle a renewable or replaceable tip. Hereto'fore in the construction of sand ,blastno zzle sithe customary practice has been to providea" cap attachable to-the sand blast,

hose from which the nozzle proper projects. The nozzle properis usually in thexform of a single integratcasting, flanged. on'its exterior for-fre ception in the cap, and having abore therethrough the rear end of which is enlarged in a tapering manner so that the nozzlereceives the sand and causes it to.iss'ue uthrough the'fsmallest forward end 01' the bore. Ifind fromjexperience that the wide end of the bore in the nozzle'proper, is' not subjected to a severe cuttingaction by the sand but that the major portionof the' cutting action takes place in the small'or issuingend of the bore. When this small end becomes'badly cut, the entire nozzle'is usually junked and'replace'd; When these nozzles ,are .made of relatively hard, ex

pensive material, this .junking of the complete nozzle is: a considerable, item in sand blasting operations; a

An object of the present invention to provide a' construction consisting of atwo part nozzle, one part. forming the body which presents the tapering throat of relatively large'size and which is not subject to extreme wear. 3 The otherpart providesthe small. bore which is subject to ex'e treme wear but which can be easily replacedata minimum expense; The arrangement and design of the construction is such thatno shoulder is i presented in the passage .for the sandflwhich would hinder or tend-to obstruct the'movement of sand throughthe nozzle. ,When'the tip be comes. badly worn'it can be substituted ,for orreplaced quitev easily at aminimum expense;
